Children’s Home
A haven of peace for an orphan or street child.
To empower, to equip and to love.
Build a house! Housing approx. eight kids –two house parents-one living room-dining room and kitchen from the ground up costs a total of $40 000. This includes labor and materials, start to finish.
Adopt a current home! Presently we have two homes built but only one able to house children. For $900/month you can feed, educate, transport, provide medical care, etc for 8 orphans and both house parents. If you can’t provide the entire month’s operational expenses, we can find a co-sponsor to partner with your monthly donation for the home!
Adopt a party! We believe that celebrating and enjoying significant moments in life helps to restore and bring hope for a brighter future. Whether a child’s birthday party, a holiday or special occasion you can “adopt a party” with a one time or monthly donation for our children in the rescue center.
